One of the best things about the Midwest is its residents’ ability to laugh at themselves. Where else can people proudly eat casseroles with ingredients that sound like they came from a dare? “Hotdish” might not scream “gourmet,” but it’s embraced—and joked about—with genuine Midwestern charm.
There are jokes about cornfields, small-town gossip, and, of course, the infamous never-ending goodbyes at family gatherings. These memes capture that spirit perfectly—they’re a little bit corny, a little bit self-deprecating, and 100% relatable to anyone who has spent time in the heartland.
